    Move Over Central Valley… This is Costa Rica’s Next Great Expat Escape

    [vimeo url=https://vimeo.com/1066950885]

    John Michael Arthur, a frequent contributor to IL—and for many years a correspondent of ours—has lived in Costa Rica for over a decade. He’s a true insider. And he knows this “hidden” part of Costa Rica well. In this place, the temperate climate ensures you’re comfortable year-round, top-rate healthcare is close at hand, and property prices are shockingly low. John will be live at 11:00 am Eastern on Thursday, March 27!

    Do we need to use a certain browser for this to work?

      Turn off any pp up blockers then refresh. You may also have to unmute when the video pulls up

        Hi everyone – Jennifer Stevens here.

        I noticed there’s been a bit of confusion about today’s workshop, so I wanted to clear things up.

        You can join the workshop right here on this page. At the top, you’ll see a video player—that’s where the broadcast will begin at 11 AM ET.

        You do not need a separate link, and there’s no need to log into Zoom. The presentation will take place directly on this page.

        If you can’t make it live, don’t worry—a recording will be posted here shortly after the workshop ends.

        Hope this clears things up!

        IMPORTANT: Please send your Costa Rica questions for JMA in on this page.

        @JMARSHALL811 @ALICE.MARTINSON @KTYERMAN @ATALLGAL-0 Have you tried viewing on a different browser perhaps? I can see the video and I am using Google Chrome. Screenshot 2025-03-27 at 15.02.14.png

                        Is there any advantage to being in one providence than another (San Jose v Cartago)?

                          I have been waiting and searching for 20 minutes. No links, no buttons, no nothing. How do I find this broadcast?

                            A map would be MOST useful! Just a simple one so we can place cities/ areas mentioned/

                                    Just returned from Costa Rica for vacation and exploratory trip. Had a great time. Want to see this to assess what we have missed. Waiting for 1/2 hour & nothing yet.

                                      Yes, I also opened the page in Chrome, and there is still no video player anywhere on the page. So sorry and don't mean to be a pest.

                                        Living in Costa Rica sounds wonderful, and we're really looking forward to visiting and attending the International Living conference in May. The medical system sounds excellent, but for someone who does not speak Spanish, how would I navigate it?
